Hillary clinton will concentrate on swing states in the runup to the election. She is hitting the trail with tim kaine in philadelphia and pittsburgh. She is using miley cyrus and katy perry. There is a lot to get to this morning. Including an overnight scare in the Hillary Clinton campaign headquarters. Lets start with nbcs jacob rascon. Good morning. Reporter good morning, sheinelle. Four clinton team measures were exposed to a white substance sent in an envelope. One of the floors of the brooklyn headquarters had to be evacuated. Substance was not harmful. Now top aides to trump are promising a new tone, positive vision and road map with the speech at gettysburg. We will win. We will shock the world. Reporter promising the comeback, donald trump is looking ahead to the first 100 days in office. Todays speech in pennsylvania what top aides call his Closing Argument with a top vision with new policy details. We will do something special. Reporter this as polling shows trump slipping in ohio and behind in every other swing state. The movement, trump tells supporters is somehow bigger than polls. A lot of people know it. They say we cant poll this thing. Reporter our nbc news surveymonkey tracking shows this is resonating with republicans. Four in ten say they may not accept the results. Campaigning for Hillary Clinton, Vice President joe biden had strong words for trump over his lewd comments caught on tape. The press asks me dont i wish i were debating him. No, i wish i was in high school so i can take him behind the gym. Reporter sources say Hillary Clinton is looking beyond election day while her Campaign Continues to target republicans and independents. In a new ad, muslim gold star father kazir khan once again going after trump. Will my son have a place in your america . Reporter there is fallout from the stolen emails from the Clinton Campaign chairman. One email showed the top aide disagreed with the push to hold a Global Initiative meeting in morocco in exchange for a pledge. Huma abedin wrote, she created this mess and she knows it. The speech scheduled this morning for donald trump and what it could be a top speech, many supporters said they wanted from him in the final stretch. Also later today, a press conference scheduled with an 11th accuser of donald trump who says he had inappropriate contact with her in the last many years. Sheinelle. Jacob, thanks. Lets bring in joy reid. Host of a. M. Reid. And we have a former top adviser to senator rand pauls campaign. Ladies, good morning. Good morning. Lets start with the trump gettysburg address. Here we are about two weeks out. What can he say today that would in any way, shape or form lift his numbers . This is a lastditch effort to show seriousness. This is what he should have conveyed earlier in the campaign. He really missed a critical moment to reassure undecided voters there was substance to him. Now they see that and it is not just he is pulling in people he already has, but he hasnt extended reach. This is grasping at straws. Is it too late . It is too late for a closing statement. You had an audience of 70 Million People and then in the first debate an audience of 80 Million People. This is the only chance you have to talk to the undecided voters. He missed. It. I want to get your take here. 45 of Republican Voters are unlikely or definitely not accept the election loss for the candidate. Do you find this surprising . Is trumps rhetoric working . This is the most troubling aspect of the campaign. It is unprecedented for the nominee to signal they would not respect the results of an election. We have never had that happen before. So because Trump Supporters are artent, it is bleeding in the base. What are republicans going to do after november 8th . Will they be beholden to a party in which 40 of the base believes the president of the United States is illegitimate . Surely, how do you see this playing out . I was in arizona conducting focus groups with donald trump suppeorters and undecided. Trump supporters who say they will concede, they say well al gore waited until december. If trump thinks something is off, he should be allowed to contest it. They are okay and they see it as fine. They blame the media right now more than they expect a rigged election. They think the media is portraying trump as dead in the water. That is contributing to his demi demise. Joy, is there a risk that they hear all this and look at the poll numbers and electoral map and get confident . You dont want to spike the ball before the game is over. And that is a very important point. You are now starting to hear democrats and democratic operatives pushing a message to democratic voters. Wait a minute. This is not over. Dont feel comfortable that you think you can stay home. The difference is the Clinton Campaign has a robust get out the vote effort. They want to make sure every single early voter is out. They are doing a absentee ballot push. The Trump Campaign is smaller in scale. Democrats are aware of the risks of voters thinking it is fine. Elise, early voting. We are spending time talking about november 8th. The reality is 4. 5 Million People cast ballots. What are we seeing . The disturbing trend is early voting, republican turnout is half from 2012. The democrats are doing a better job organizing in early voting. You see that benefits Hillary Clinton. Elise, joy. Thank you for waking up early. You can watch joys show this morning on msnbc. Starts at 10 00 eastern. A huge mystery this morning. Federal investigators are trying to figure out just who is behind a series of coordinated cyber attacks. Attacking popular web sites you use every day. Nbcs Gadi Schwartz has the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, stephanie. These attacks are starting to sound something out of a Science Fiction novel. Hijackers connecting devices like dvrs and cameras and Baby Monitors and launching them into cyber war. The attacks came in three waves taking down a long list of web site giants like twitter, netflix, amazon, paypal and more. How can so Many Companies go down in the answer found in a target . Hackers aiming at a Company Called dyn. It acts like an address book and switch board of the internet. This time, hackers deployed the latest weapon in cyber warfare. Virus that effects internet devices like dvrs and Baby Monitors and turns them into cyber bot slaves and using them and the system like dyn is overwhelmed and crashes. It is unthinkable that a baby monitor could topple twitter. An army of Baby Monitors can knock over the most Important Companies in the world. Reporter Experts Say Companies are manufacturing weak default passwords making them vulnerable. The fact that companies can make hundreds of thousands of devices and put them on the internet and have the product line turn into a botnet and attack the United States is a problem. Reporter so far, there is a lot of speculation on who is to blame. A senior u. S. Intelligence official now telling nbc news this is a classic case of internet vandalism. It does not appear to be a state sponsored attack. What is clear, a new weapon has been deployed as companies and countries try to prepare for a possibility of cyber war. Experts tell us a lot of the devices used in attacks like these are located in vietnam. Right now, the department of Homeland Security and fbi are investigating. Stephanie. Thank you, gadi. Testimony resumes in new jersey in the bridgegate trial. The question is did governor Chris Christie know about the George Washington bridge closures . He says he didnt, but during testimony on friday, one former aide insists he did. Nbcs tammy leightner is here with more. Reporter good morning, craig. Four of the access lanes were shutdown unexpectedly in 2013 causing a nightmare. And a top aide wrote an email and dropped a bombshell. Testified that the governor knew what was going on despite his repeated denials. For three years, Bridget Kelly said nothing until now. The former deputy chief to governor Chris Christie took the stand friday. She testified she had told her former boss about the lane closures one month before it happened. He was fine with it. A direct contradiction to what christie claimed. I had no knowledge of it. Reporter christie Team Released this statement friday. The governor had no knowledge prior to or during the lane clo closures. Bridget kelly said the Port Authority director was the mastermind in the issue in 2013. He is now the governments key witness. Kelly and defendant bill baroni pleaded not guilty to nine felony counts. She said christie was aware of the email she sent saying time for traffic problems in ft. Lee. She said it was a poor choice of words. She insisted the closures were not retribution meant to punish a local mayor. Christie previously called kelly a rogue and liar. It presents the truth as Bridget Kelly knows it. Reporter david walstein was telling christie about the closures on september 11th. As the lane closures were happening. Accords to wildstein, the three laughed about it. A man with hoping for Higher Office now caught in a scandal he may never recover from. Now Defense Attorneys painted kelly as a lowlevel employee even to please her boss. Not in the inner circle as the government alleges. The jury could start deliberating as soon as mid week. Craig. Thank you. We head overseas where secretary of Defense Ash Carter is touching down in iraq as the crews are trying to take back the city of mosul. We have Nbcs Richard Engel innin erbil this morning. Reporter he came to meet with the iraqi primary and American General and get a battle field update in the campaign to drive isis out of the city of mosul. With every advance, there are more signs of isis brutality and radical intolerance. In the town of mosul, authorities cleared a church desecrated by the militants. They wrote the Islamic State or caliphate Reigns Supreme over the cross. That caliphate is shrinking. With the help of u. S. Aircraft and jets launched from uss eisenhower in the mediterranean. Isis is under attack in and around mosul. But finding isis without killing civilians is a challenge. Bad guys mixed in with families. There are people in the wrong place at the wrong time. None of us wants to kill innocent civilians. Reporter advisors are on the ground too. We saw them in combat gear clearing bombs. It is the same job chief petty officer jason finan had. He was killed this week when an ied went off near his vehicle. Isis so far is pursuing a dual strategy. Fighting to defend mosul and key villages and using terrorist attacks. Using a soft target like the city of kirkuk where militants came in yesterday and killed dozens of people. There was a scare today for some u. S. Troops that are advising in in this mission. Isis, two days ago, set fire to a sulfur plant and the winds shifted bringing some of the fumes close to u. S. Troops. Out of the sense of personal comfort. Some decided to put on protective chemical gear. Air samples have been taken to determine if the fumes cause any threat, but a military spokesperson told us at this point there has been no change in posture and no reports of hospitalizations. Richard, thank you. Ontario, california is under a smoke alert after firefighters struggle with a massive blaze. A thick black plume rose over the city friday as 100foot high flames shot from the recycling center. Cardboard and plastic bottles fueled the fire. Homes and businesses were evacuated. The positive news is no serious injuries. And activists in kansas are warning people to stay out of town to avoid the chemical leak. Harmful gas washed over the town friday. 11,000 people were told to shelter in place. More than five dozen treated in hospitals. One person is in intensive care. The chemical cloud disbursed and the investigation is under way. The miami heat are trying to explain how they got caught off guard by a black lives matter protester. The woman singing the National Anthem unexpectedly dropped to her knees and opened the jacket and said she loved her cause. Heat officials did not know about the protest ahead of time. And here is a good one for the chicago cubs fans worldwide. Hoping and praying the cubs can finally make it back to the world series. It is game six of the National League championship series. The cubs are up 3 games to 2. If the boys win tonight, they go to the series for the first time, get your head around this, in seven decades. Nbcs ron mott is outside wrigley field. Im sure he is excited with more. Good morning, ron. Reporter good morning, stephanie. Anything and everything that can be crossed, fingers and toes, because the chicago cubs are one win away from the world series. Groundball to short. Reporter baseball is a game of numbers. Three strikes, youre out. Four balls, youre on. A stretch and a song in the seventh. Take me out to the ball game reporter for the chicago cubs and patient and passionate fans. A single number comes to mind this weekend. One. Win one more game and finally get back to the world series. And theres a mountain of anticipation and excitement. It just keeps building and building. I dont want to jinx it. Obviously we are very superstitious. Reporter maybe for a good reason. A billy goat started what many believe is a curse. A black cat kept it going in 69. Him, a fan named Steve Bartman interfered with a foul ball in 03. Its been 71 years since the cubs last played in baseballs championship. Longer since they last won it all 108 years. Could that be their lucky number . The teams first manager created the games First Official balls. Exactly 108 stitches. The Tower Broadcasting cubs games . You guessed it. 108 stories tall. The omaha family that bought the team, headquartered on 108th avenue. Im superstitious. Reporter around the city, signs everywhere. A simple w displayed after each win. No team has won more than this season than the cubs. Now the 2 for 1 special. Two shots to win one. Love the cubs because i love my city. I love they are about to make it to the world series. Reporter and a chance to make 2016 a most celebrated number in chicago. Cubs reporter so as you can imagine, the city is ready to pop. They will close the streets down if the cubs win. Guys, back to you. Ron mott, that was awesome. Good story, ron. Good stuff. My husband is booking tickets. I said what are you doing. He says he wants to be there. The Cleveland Indians fans just as excited. Lots of rain around the country. One weird note. It will be 108 degrees in chicago today. We did have some pretty significant weather through worcester in massachusetts last night. 4 to 5 inches of rain. Look at the cars stalled in that flooding rain. It was a nasty night and more rain is on the way. You are getting a break across new england. Heavy rain is in a line from albany to new york. This is moisture that will move slowly and rotate to the east. We are going to see more rain fill back in across central massachusetts. Last through the day today and then as we go into tonight, look at this. Cold enough for snow. 6 to 8 inches of snow in the adirondacks and ski resorts.

We hope you have a great weekend. Cmon in, pop pop happy birthday i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help. Amazing. Amazing. That is goldie hawn and amy schumer. Amazing. Look at that crowd.

Isis does seem to be retreating from some of its positions. We are seeing leaders leaving mosul. After making history as the first musician to receive the first nobel prize for literature, all we have heard from bob dylan is silence. Tonight it is unclear if bob dylan is going to the nobel ceremony in sweden. The voice of the generation saying nothing but the accolade.

This morning in todays take away, saving now so you have money for later holiday shopping. It may only be october 22nd, but it never too early to budget for the holidays. Tim mauer is the director of finance. Good morning. Good morning. Walk me through how the budget works . A, we need to recognize this is a budget worthy item. It is not like a monthly mortgage or grocery bill, but it is a big expense that people dont plan for. We end up stressing with left overdebt. You have three categories . Yes. We start with gifts. Holiday expenses are variable like parties and travel. The slush fund is extra money to make mistakes and not worry about it. I want to tackle gifts first. For me, the list has a certain amount of people and then you have teachers and friends and it gets out of hand. I think we drop the obligatory gifts. Set an actual budget for each gift. This sounds like it is not romantic, but you can afford the gifts you buy. Then apply discipline. Black friday, cyber monday. Those are exciting days. Dont let those drive your shopping. Utilize the sales to get the best price. I want to go through the list. You think about all of the things that go on in the holidays, you have a lot. Absolutely. For people like me who live far away, travel may be the biggest expense. Now is the time to book the thanksgiving travel plans as well as the december travel plans. Even holiday parties and family outings like annual griswaldian hunt for the christmas tree. And budget tool. In the digital world, we have tools to make it easier. Santas bag is an app to help you figure out who you will buy a gift and the amount. It keeps the total budget and reminds you how much gifts you have left to purchase. Camel, camel, camel, cracks me up for the name. It will tell you when it hits your price on amazon. How does it work . Camel, camel, camel. Put in the gifts you want. Put the price you are willing to pay. It will notify you when it gets there on amazon. Com. Last, the slush fund. The extra money. We will overspend. That is what the holidays are about. Over indulging. Plan for the spontaneity. Make sure you are prepared. How much should you put in . I would recommend 20 of the budget you plan for gifts and the variable expenses. It is like when you remodel our kitchen. Holiday surprises that hit your pocketbook. Thank you, tim. Getting us ready for the holidays and it is not even thanksgiving, not even halloween.
